Why would one want NewPipe on desktop when there's https://freetubeapp.io/
in one phrase "skip silences" feature!

Re: NewPipe on Linux, Using Android_translation_layer
#92I have finally been able to install it and have to say I am really impressed how well this works. Sure, you can not really 'fullscreen'? There are some glitches; margins. But mostly it just works. It is so much more efficient than starting up Waydroid... I am even considering trying this with some of my other go-to applications. Note; FreeTube is also a good client. Though at three times the size due to Electron, I l…
I see tons of glitches: cant load settings, loading a vid may work or not, and the gui gets glitchy regardless.
Pity, I love Newpipe on my phone.

The page says "Installed Size ~60.95 MiB". Is that inaccurate?
That figure does not include the dependencies like org.freedesktop.Platform and org.gnome.Platform which can add up to GBs.
But they are shared between apps, and those platform packages are almost certainly used by most of your apps.

#94I've wanted this for several years now solely for the "fast-forward through silences" feature that newpipe has.

Re: NewPipe on Linux, Using Android_translation_layer
#96Very cool stuff! I wonder if you can switch out the newpipe app for the Tubular ( https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular ) fork which has SponsorBlock and ReturnYoutubeDislike built into it.
He can't but you probably can.

I don't use flatpak, snap or appimage so it's good that it doesn't need flatpak or similar.
Can I ask why? A few years ago we stopped distributing on Linux outside of Flatpak. It was tiring getting bug reports that were only reproducible on certain drivers and setups, not to mention the weekly "how do I install this on ". We've seen people complain about the extra space it takes on disk, but after deduplication and compression the tradeoff to have Linux apps "just work" is worth it (imo)
I read through the commenters who responded before I saw your question this morning and feel they all did a great job with their answers and agree with them.

Running it on Fedora. You? (Also use it in Bazzite from a Legion Go; touch input only)
Graphics, like buttons are problematic (small, misplaced), but functional
Re: NewPipe on Linux, Using Android_translation_layer
#99If you have a device running postmarketOS or Alpine Linux you can try this out yourself with other Android apps. Just "sudo apk add android-translation-layer" and then run $ android-translation-layer some-app.apk I tried a few (F-Droid, Spotify, Megalodon) but they all failed with various issues, looks like there's a lot of API surface still not covered. Hopefully a lot of it is fairly easy to add now that the founda…
I'm going to try and get android_translation_layer building on Arch and then we can have a third distro to add to the list!

> demand indefinite compatibility. Not infinite – long enough for the game to bring in most revenue is enough. Who cares that it stops running one or two Windows updates later for totally avoidable reasons? Definitely not the publisher. (In fact, isn't it about time for an HD remaster again?)
Microsoft cares, though, because if a game stops working when you upgrade Windows, you blame the Windows upgrade, not Microsoft. So now Microsoft has to maintain these legacy system calls even though they never signed up to do that.
Microsoft does not. This is the one area where they don't compromise: system call numbers regularly change between Windows builds.
